After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 138: An Lingrong gets the plague

"elder brother!"

Concubine Hua snuggled in Nian Gengyao's broad and strong arms, feeling the long-lost sense of security.

Nian Gengyao raised his broad, calloused hands and gently stroked Concubine Hua's hair.

"As long as our Shilan doesn't lose her temper, she's still very cute."

Hua Fei wanted to cry at first, but when she heard his words, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Brother, do you dislike your sister's bad temper?"

Nian Gengyao shook his head: "No, I am glad that my sister has a bad temper. Only because of this, those people dare not bully my sister. But, how did my sister get bullied this time? And was she bullied like this?"

Concubine Hua left Nian Gengyao's arms and turned sideways, trying to cover the wound on her abdomen.

"Brother, this is an accident." Concubine Hua didn't want Nian Gengyao to cause more trouble because of her, so she tried her best to pretend to be relaxed.

Nian Gengyao snorted coldly, "Accident? Sister, don't try to fool me. I am not from the harem, but I know how deep the water is in the harem! If anyone dares to bully you, I will never let him off easily!"

Hua Fei grabbed Nian Gengyao's arm and said, "Brother, the emperor has already dealt with those people. You don't have to cause trouble because of your sister!"

Nian Gengyao refused.

"From childhood to adulthood, you have always been the one bullying others. How can it be right for others to bully you? I can't just sit there and watch!"

Hua Fei was a little anxious, "Brother, the emperor is already suspicious of you now, you must not cause any more trouble."

There is still a year left, and Concubine Hua feels that as long as Nian Gengyao condescends to confess his guilt to the emperor within this year, the emperor will not kill him.

However, Nian Gengyao was obviously unwilling to give up such a bright future.

If at this critical juncture, Nian Gengyao did something to displease the emperor because of her, even if Concubine Hua went to serve the empress dowager every day and showed her courtesy, and even if she pretended to be deeply in love with the emperor, she would not be able to save Nian Gengyao.

"Sister, don't say anything! I've already solved it for you."

Nian Gengyao sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, with an unconcealable joy on his face.

Concubine Hua immediately sensed something was wrong.

She sat opposite Nian Gengyao and asked anxiously, "Brother, did you do something behind my back?"

Nian Gengyao waved his hands, "It's nothing, I just vented my anger for my sister."

Hearing this, Concubine Hua's heart sank.

"Brother, what did you do? Tell me the truth!"

Seeing Concubine Hua's ugly face, Nian Gengyao knew that she was angry, and hurriedly smiled and said, "It's nothing. An Bihuai was killed by a group of bandits on the way to Ningguta. As for An Lingrong, she contracted the plague in the harem."

After hearing this, Concubine Hua gasped and looked at Nian Gengyao in disbelief.

"Brother, An Lingrong will never leave the cold palace again in her lifetime, why do you want to bring harm to her father?"

Nian Gengyao slammed the table, "Sister, why have you become so weak recently? Are you still my sister Nian Shilan? If you are bullied, you must fight back. Why are you enduring this humiliation?"

Hua Fei sighed helplessly.

"Brother, I'm not weak. I've just been through some things and know better that some things can't be done too drastically. You have to leave people a way out! Leaving a way out for others is also leaving a way out for yourself."

Nian Gengyao was already getting impatient.

"Sister, please don't tell me these nonsense. An Bihuai is dead anyway! As for An Lingrong..."

Concubine Hua noticed something wrong in Nian Gengyao's tone.

"What did you do to An Lingrong?"

Nian Gengyao picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and said nothing.

At this time, Songzhi came over hurriedly.

"That's great news, Your Majesty!" Songzhi looked happy.

Hua Fei asked hurriedly: "What makes you so happy?"

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Songzhi said directly, "An Lingrong has the plague and is almost dead. Now she is breathing out and not breathing in! Isn't this a great joyous event?"

Nian Gengyao, who was standing by, slapped the table and laughed.

"God's retribution!"

Looking at Nian Gengyao who was laughing wildly, Concubine Hua felt sad and worried.

The sad thing is that although he is arrogant and domineering, he is very good to me.

What he was worried about was that if the emperor got to know about his actions, the consequences would be disastrous.

Songzhi saw that Concubine Hua was not very happy, so she asked, "What's wrong with you, Madam?"

Hua Fei supported her forehead with one hand and waved to Song Zhi: "I'm fine, go down."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Songzhi left, only Concubine Hua and Nian Gengyao were left in the bedroom.

"Sister, are you feeling unwell?"

Concubine Hua raised her head weakly and looked at Nian Gengyao worriedly.

"Brother, I have no children in this palace, and I am only worried about you and the Nian family! Brother, promise me that you will resign your official title and return to your hometown in Anhui. With the money that the emperor has rewarded you over the years, you can buy a few acres of thin land and a few houses, and you can live a good life for the rest of your life."

"Here you go again!" Nian Gengyao stood up suddenly. "Seeing that you are safe and sound, I am relieved. I am leaving now!"

After saying this, Nian Gengyao turned away.

Hua Fei was left sitting there in a daze for a long while.

Zhou Ninghai rushed over at this time, "Madam, Doctor Wen is here to check your pulse."

"Please come in quickly."

Concubine Hua calmed down and sat upright in the chair.

Wen Shichu hurried over carrying a medicine box.

"Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty Hua Fei!"

"Get up."

"Thank you, empress."

Wen Shichu stood up, opened the medicine box, took out two exquisite small porcelain bottles, and handed them to Zhou Ninghai with both hands.

"This scar removal cream I have spent several months preparing, I have personally tested it and it works well. Your Majesty, you can use this medicine to apply to the wound you have sutured."

Zhou Ninghai handed the porcelain bottle from Wen Shichu's hand to Concubine Hua with both hands.

Hua Fei took it, opened it, and smelled a familiar scent.

She remembered the small porcelain bottle her brother gave her this morning, and it seemed to have the same smell.

She quickly put the small porcelain bottle that Nian Gengyao gave her together with Wen Shichu's small porcelain bottle, opened their lids, and then smelled them together.

After smelling it for a while, Concubine Hua looked at Wen Shichu and asked, "Have you shown this prescription to anyone?"

Wen Shichu immediately shook his head, "No!"

Concubine Hua felt strange. Since Wen Shichu did not give the prescription to anyone else, why was the smell so similar to the scar removal ointment her brother gave her?

"Doctor Wen, come here and smell this fragrance."

Concubine Hua handed the ointment that Nian Gengyao gave her to Wen Shichu.

Wen Shichu picked up the small porcelain bottle handed to him by Concubine Hua, looked at it carefully, and found that it was not his. He opened the lid and smelled it, and couldn't help but look confused.

"This medicine is very similar to the one I gave to Your Majesty. Where did you get it from?"

Concubine Hua asked, "Doctor Wen, what do you think of this medicine?"
